Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis <snerk> 69! <snerk> Amurrkin out and clear with a predicted high of 88 and possible afternoon storms. We shall see. Today is mowage day and I intend to get started as soon as I can this mornin’. I don’t want to do this but I must do this so I shall. The good thing is I can start earlyish since everyone around da cave will be gone to irk by around seven-thirty this mornin’. I can also take my time as I have no other real big plans for this mornin’. Tomorrow is supposed to be a stormy day so I reckon by mowin’ today I can keep that from happenin’.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. I shall mess about teh intartoobz a bit and wait until I can start. Rah.
**flytrap **- I was in no mood to drive the 35-ish mile round trip to procure yarn, especially since there’s free yarn awaiting me.
**Butters **- I’ll make you a bunch of pumpkin hair pieces - the yarn I was going to dump off at the thrift store would be great for that! All you’d need to do is cover the postage cost. How many pumpkin wigs would you like?
Very chilly this morning. I actually woke up a bit cold and had to find an afghan during the night. The heat and humidity are set to return, but it sure was nice while it lasted. I’ll be surprised if the house doesn’t get closed up today, alas.
Other than that, just another day in paradise, with a 5-day weekend ahead (after tomorrow) - YAY!
Bubba drank some water from his upstairs bowl last night!
In other news, I’m sure some of you saw on fb that I was talking about and remembering that it was Dave’s birthday yesterday. It will be 5 years in July since he’s been gone. Well anyway, for some reason last year on the anniversary of the day he passed his son, JK, decided to start broadcasting what a horrible person Dave had been even though no one else in the world knew this secret ‘truth’ about him. Yesterday said son continued his smear campaign of his dead father. This is so totally not cool. And also unfounded. All of the rest of his family and I were very upset. One of his cousins posted a long rant blasting JK complete with screen shots of times when he talked, unsolicited, about how much he loved and/or missed Dave. I just don’t understand why someone would do this.
FCM, we have plenty of yarn here. Come on over!! ETA: ok, if 35 miles is too far, then a trip to Ohio would be out of the question!
Slept terribly; toe cramp and every little noise seemed to catch my attention. I’m up ---- for now. But I feel a return the the blankets for a while may be in order.
I received my “letter of instruction” yesterday from my doctor re my foot surgery. It’s roughly three weeks from now. I’ll be out of work for probably all of August and part of September. I’ve been putting this off for more than 2 years and it’s gotten to the point that…well, if I want to keep walking normally, it must be done.
Ergo, on my days off like today I’m running around doing the stuff I won’t be able to do, like yardwork and walking our dog. It’s gorgeous out today, so that’s where I’ll be
Afternoon all. Scanned posts, did not register.

Tis grey and blurfy over here. We needed the rain, but I dunno why I’m so washed out. I’m supposed to be going out to a friend’s leaving thing, as one of the people I’ve been good friends with since I moved to Bristol suddenly announced he’s leaving the country on Friday (not for nefarious reasons), but I’m having trouble getting the energy together. I don’t think I really know anyone else who’s coming.
This week at irk is being less full of chefs than promised, but the stress is clearly starting to show on the boss. One more month, then the SEP field can descend.
Yahd irk has been completed, I have showered and have had N.O.L. Looks like a storm could be comin’ in from the southwest in a little while. Kinda dark lookin’ that way. That would be fine by me especially since I have a freshly mowed yahd. I may attempt nappage in anticipation of a nice tstorm.
Kiz does you have a MMP nickname? If not, one will be along shortly. What kind of surgery are you having?
Nuts if it were me, I would be inclined to skip the fete and meet up with said friend separately.
Midget very cool! Say howdy from the MMP. waves
I didn’t fall asleep until 3 am, but I managed to sleep until 10. Sleep!
I am now driving myself nuts with second guesses on the puppy. Am I crazy to get a puppy? On the one hand, it’s summer. The kids are home and eager to help. The last times I have had a puppy it’s really gone very well. On the other hand, puppies are babies and can be a lot of work. My kids mean well, but they are kids and :rolleyes: I am scared that my disability will keep me from doing everything that I should do for the dog. Back on the first hand, part of the idea is that the puppy/dog will keep me going on bad days. Decisions, decisions.
Sticks I forgot to mention that I was sorry to hear about the family situation. Have you been able to talk to the child and find out what is going on, or would you rather just avoid him altogether at this point?
No time, he’s spending all day packing tomorrow, and leaving Friday morning. His friends were pretty nice anyway as it turned out. Didn’t stay that long, I need a good night’s sleep.
I spent most of the day thinking it was Thursday - wishful thinking, I guess…
I stopped on the way home for a few items at Food Lion, including a big bag of sweet cherries - YUM! I also got a box of frozen shrimp-veggie spring rolls - meh. I won’t be buying them again. No surprise - I’ve never had a good frozen egg roll or spring roll. Oh well. And, yes, I do heat them up.
Looks like this will be our last windows-open day for at least the next 10, alas. But I have ice cream, so there’s that.
Howdy Y’all! We have dined upon the leftover lasagna along with sallit and garlic bread. Once again no vampires shall invade da cave. I have ribs, chikin boobs, and chikin laigs rubbed down and ready for smokeage tomorrow. I also have wood chips (hickory) soakin’. As soon as there’s enough daylight to see out on my deck, smokeage shall commence. That and laundry should keep me occupied tomorrow. I think I shall also make up some baked beans and slaw for Sattidy’s feast.
ZZZ hope the surgery goes well and the recovery quick.
